TPM has posted a fascinating CBS News report on the 10-8 Senate Judiciary Committee's vote in 1986 to reject "Jefferson Sessions" for a Reagan federal judgeship.

The Alabama Republican, elevated to ranking member of the committee with the defection of Arlen Specter, looks to be about 16 in the Bob Schieffer report, which refers to, but doesn't repeat, the "racially insensitive" comments that got Sessions in hot water.

Joe Biden, looking about 30, said: "Sessions, at a minimum, was much too flippant with regard to matters relating to race. He joked about it; he made comments about it."

This is horse crap. Jeff Sessions is not a racist. If you take 5 minutes to learn more about the sham that took place in 1986 you'd understand that Sessions was the victim of slime ball leftist race politics. Shameful then and shameful now.

Sessions is a racist. Only a racist would say that they "used to think the Klan was OK until I found out some of them were 'pot smokers'". This is a direct quote from Sessions who doesnt deny saying it.

"Joe Biden, looking about 30, said: 'Sessions, at a minimum, was much too flippant with regard to matters relating to race. He joked about it; he made comments about it.'"
This from the guy who made fun of Indians and 7-11 stores???
